Stinkin' 5K Race

As you might have guessed from the title of today's entry, we have a race coming up this weekend, and no, I am not happy about it. You know when you have a project to do and you do anything and everything you can think of except work on that project? Well, that is where I am. I have been doing yoga, taking various fitness classes, going on walks, mowing the yard, everything but running. To be honest, I did run about 1.5 miles a few weeks ago, but lost interest quickly. Now on Saturday, I am going to be downtown with all the happy runners wondering why I signed up. Matt will be competing in the half-marathon portion of the race, so at least I will get to see that. The upside -- this cannot be any worse than the marathon relay we did in September. Plus, I finally got an appointment with an acupuncturist next weekend, so maybe he can fix the problem I keep having with my knee and foot whenever I run. At least I could be healthy to walk in the Race for the Cure event in May. Aunt Martha, that would be for you!
